Description

Iran said it has launched its 35th wave of operations, as it continues its strikes across the region including in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait. Saudi Arabia shot down missiles aimed at its military air base, and drones targeting its major oilfield, while the UAE said early this morning it was also responding to a barrage of missiles. Bahrain has warned residents to seek shelter. There have been more than 10 suspected Iranian attacks on vessels operating around the Gulf since the war began. The US is worried that the Iranians might start mining the Strait of Hormuz - they have before - and has attacked 16 mine-laying boats near the crucial water passageway.

If you ever feel without purpose, just keep in mind, America swapped the Taliban for the Taliban and Khemeni for Khemeni... zero victories, simply more animosity towards the US.

If the US says they hit 13 mine laying ships, what they really mean is two mine laying ships, 9 fishing vessels, a puppy, and a tugboat.
